Though most shoe designers craft women's specific footwear with a distinctly narrow profile, not all of us are blessed with dainty feet, and Louis Garneau gives women with a variety of foot shapes a nod with the Granite II Women's Shoe. This award-winning kick combines the performance you trust from Garneau with an innovative design that allows the shoe to stretch in order to accommodate B to D+ sized feet, which is achieved with a ventilated elastomer-spandex insertretch in order to accommodate B to D+ sized feet, which is achieved with a ventilated elastomer-spandex insert that is coined the X-Comfort Zone. The X-Comfort Zone creates a unique fit that doesn't constrict the foot's natural toe splay, helping to maintain all of your power output, while claiming to reduce injuries, too. The new Granite also sees some welcome updates that load it with features we typically only see in Garneau's top-of-the-line models, such as offset opening to relieve pressure on the instep, and a Powerzone system that locks your foot in place when you're putting the hammer down through technical switchbacks, and punchy power moves up rock faces. On bottom the shoes feature Ergo Grip 2 sole -- a nylon and fiberglass composite, that offers a boost of stiffness to keep your power going into your cranks, but without so much going too stiff and causing issues when you have to shoulder your bike up an overgrown boulder field. The sole features a recessed patch designed to secure 2-bold mountain cleats, and large rubberized lugs that keep your footing sure when you have to hit the trail on foot.… read more

It's hard to beat the comfort of home, and the Louis Garneau Ruby II Shoes for women just may be the ruby slippers that take you t...here. They combine just enough tech to keep you up to date and in charge on the road, but without going overboard with bells and whistles that the pro's demand. Crafted from seamless PU leather and mesh, the uppers hug your feet in securely, while an IP1-S Boa allows you to cinch things down and make two-way micro-adjustments for the perfect fit. A hook-and-loop strap secures your forefoot without pressing down on your instep, allowing natural toe splay that not only boosts your comfort, but power, too. The new Ruby II may share a lot of similarities with its predecessor, the Ruby, but it features Louis Garneau's new X-Comfort Zone technology. This innovative tech allows the shoe to stretch to accommodate those with wider feet, thanks to the ventilated elastomer-spandex insert. This makes for a non-constrictive fit that keeps you going for the long rides ahead. read more

When introducing its Wind Dry II Shoe Cover, Louis Garneau asks: "If the sun is shining, why not go for a ride'" Why not, indeed, ...Louis' With a windproof fabric and a neoprene cuff, the Wind Dry II booties are certainly ready to go--temperature be damned. LG makes no claim for water resistance, so we recommend only taking them out on bright, dry winter afternoons and late fall mornings that promise a clear day but might require a barrier between your vulnerable extremities and the chilly seasonal air. read more

The Louis Garneau Women's Tri X-Lite II Shoe has effortless transitions and pedaling efficiency in mind, so you can shave precious... time off your T1 and maintain a blistering cadence in the bike stage of your upcoming triathlon. Hook-and-loop straps quickly secure the shoe when seconds are rapidly ticking during the swim-to-bike transition. Its synthetic leather upper conforms to your foot for optimal comfort and pedaling efficiency, and it's reinforced along the toe box to prevent collapse. To keep the foot in place, the anti-slip membrane comfortably hugs your heel to reduce slippage and uncomfortable rubbing. Breathable mesh drastically increases airflow, as do the perforated vents built directly into the sole. This heightened airflow is crucial if you're racing in hot weather, also decreasing sweat build-up if you choose to forgo socks for speedier transitions. Sitting at the heart of every triathlon shoe, the sole is one of the most crucial aspects in terms of pedaling performance. Fulfilling the need for pedaling power, the Carbon Composite sole maximizes every watt of available energy. This means you'll surge forward with every pedal stroke, without having to exert more energy than necessary. For balance and grip, the replaceable heel bumper comes in handy when you dismount at the end of the bike stage. read more

If you're looking for a road shoe that isn't prohibitively expensive but still looks good, we'd recommend Louis Garneau's Cristal ...Shoes. We were impressed with the aesthetics of this shoe right away. It doesn't scream "budget option," and with its list of specs, it clearly isn't. Whether you're new to road riding or are just realizing your old shoes have seen too many miles, the Cristal shoes offer an impressive mix of features and affordability. Garneau mixes a sturdy synthetic leather upper with mesh panels for venting, ensuring the Cristals hold their shape while remaining breathable during your rides. The Canadian manufacturer also eliminated seaming throughout the material for a contoured fit that reduces hot spots and pressure points. The hook-and-loop straps along the forefoot are offset to help you achieve more of a wrap-like, customizable fit, and a ratcheting buckle strap allows you to fine tune the tightness of the shoes across the top of your foot. On the inside of the shoes, Louis Garneau includes its Cool Stuff insoles, which have improved arch support and better ventilation than in previous versions. They work with reinforced heel cups to keep the shoes securely on your feet during hard climbs. Garneau's Ergo Air II nylon outsole is plenty stiff for recreational cycling, and it's vented for added breathability to help you stay comfortable on hot days and long rides. As a final touch, reflective accents on each heel help make sure you stay seen on days when your rides take you along shady, tree-lined roads or keep you out after the sun has gone down. read more

Sometimes you just want to take in the sights of a new city on a rental bike or take an idyllic spin through the park with the sun... shining overhead and birds chirping in the distance. For these instances where go-fast efficiency is trumped by comfort and walkability, the Louis Garneau Women's Urban Mountain Bike Shoe certainly fits the bill with its casual disposition and flexible sole that allows you to walk off the bike. Durable synthetic leather uppers withstand all the abuse you can dish out around town, plus there's breathable mesh inserts to keep your feet from overheating. And despite being similar to a standard sneaker, it does retain the 2-bolt compatibility you've come to love from mountain bike footwear, so you can use it with a number of popular mountain bike pedals, including Shimano SPD and Crank Brothers. And for those who prefer to wear flats, you'll enjoy the grippy rubber sole with longitudinal lugs to keep you glued to the pedals. read more

While we wouldn't recommend them for competitive endurance racers, the Louis Garneau women's Sapphire Shoes are more than capable ...of shuttling recreational mountain bikers and roadies looking to dip their toes into the trail or CX scene for some off-season cross training. The synthetic upper, mesh ventilation, and hook-and-loop straps are general across LG's road and mountain lines, but the lugged, Ergo Grip II outsole with removable studs is native only to the latter. The shoes are finished with an HRS-80 heel cup design, which keeps the foot anchored while cleaning rocky pitches. read more

We live for the miles we spend on the bike, but sometimes the weather outside just doesn't permit us to hit the road. When trainer... season rolls around, we find that we always drench our favorite gear in sweat, and while we can toss jerseys and shorts into the wash, shoes are not quite that easy. That's why Louis Garneau offers us the perfect, extra-breathable option for hitting spin classes or spending miles on the trainer inside with their Actifly Cycling shoes for women. With more vents than you thought you could need, these keep sweat pulling away so that you can keep feeling fresh, even if you're in a dingy basement staring at a computer while grueling through your training routine. Since the emphasis of the Actifly is breathability, Louis Garneau opted for an almost entirely mesh upper, with some synthetic leather holding the shape together and adding support. The internal lining is also mesh, with a honeycomb construction designed to, you guessed it, breathe. Collectively with both a mesh upper and lining the shoes continually wick away sweat and dry to keep you feeling fresh, but if that wasn't enough, they are also treated with anti-odor technology to help you feel clean from start to finish. A nylon-injected fiberglass outsole provides you with the stiff support you want when you're putting down the power, but does offer a bit more torsional flex than a carbon fiber sole does. The outsoles also feature a breathability boost, with ventilation throughout to keep your feet cool and dry, avoiding the dreaded hot-foot. Not all of us are blessed with the same pedal setup indoors and outdoors, and if we're heading to a new spin class who knows what they be running on their bikes, which is why Louis Garneau designs the Actifly to be compatible out of the box with nearly any clipless pedal you'll find on the market. The shoes come along with steel inserts that allow you to run either 2-bolt mountain cleats, or 3-bolt road cleats, and with just a few turns of a ... read more

The Nickel is a more casual footwear option for cyclists who want a clip-in shoe they can wear in a non-cycling setting. The lace-...up construction with elastic lace-holders is lightweight and easily adjusted, while the Multi Lite outsole is semi-rigid to make walking in them easy. The uppers are made with a mixture of engineered leather and lightweight mesh, and built using seamless thermobonding techniques &#8211; for improved aerodynamics and the elimination of uncomfortable pressure points. A Cool Stuff insole provides excellent ventilation and arch support, while the heels feature an eye-catching reflector for improved visibility at night. The shoes are optimized for use with SPD cleat systems and each pair comes with a second set of black laces. * STD Fit: Roomier fit offers more comfort for all-day riding * Upper: Synthetic leather and mesh provides comfort and breathability * Closure system: Laces for easy adjustment; extra color laces included * Heel retention: HRS-80 stabilizes heel * Outsole: Breathable, ventilated * Cleats: 2 hole pattern SPD cleats fit all major MTB pedals (Not Included) * Weight: 346 g / 12.2 oz (size 42) read more
